Maybe you misunderstood my post - if your use cases have changed for your collection then by all means, do whatever you’d like with them. What I’m saying is it’s silly to get rid of your bands just because someone tweeted an unsubstantiated rumor about a product that isn’t likely to release for another year.
Not surprised the only 2 people who liked your post are @mikedop and @athousandbands :rolleyes:

At this point, I believe the change will happen.. The rumors are enough for me. Hard pill to swallow for some. Change is inevitable. Like I said, I got value for my purchases and am ok selling for under retail

Has Cosplay Closet even gotten spring 2022 yet? I feel like pinstripes will be hard to find wholesale since they didn’t get trashed for spring bands
The Fall 2022 Product Red sport loop has become my favorite band and I‘m thinking of getting a backup while it’s still on Amazon. Do you think it will ever be discounted anywhere? I keep checking ebay but no luck. It was briefly down to $44 on Amazon last week but it’s back to $49 now. 🤔

The series 8 sport loops as of yet haven’t hit any of the wholesale eBay stores (and I don’t think TJ/TK Maxx ever got to the spring/summer series 7?)

Red especially was never sold off by too many individuals but definitely keep an eye on the discounts thread. Of course, I’ll post it there.

Thanks for that, I’ll keep my eye on the discounts thread. My local TJ Maxx never has any OEM bands, just third-party things like faux pink shell resin link bands, and rhinestone crusted watch covers, which Amazon seems to have thousands of

I’m surprised it’s not 20-30 on Amazon. Maybe set a CamelCamelCamel alert?

Seems to say there that it’s never gone below 43!


Also keep an eye out for promotions like the one that gave me $15 in Amazon promo (only works on Amazon-sold things new in box and expired in mid January) for buying an Apple gift card.

I do have a 🐪 alert, but I didn’t act fast enough when it plummeted to $44 🤣
Yeah my tightwad self would like to pay less than full price, seeing as how it would duplicate a band I already have.

Tells you what a good band it is haha. Amazon usually deeply discounts all the old stuff if even just temporarily. I’m turning my sss41 back on tomorrow and I’ll def give it some run!

FWIW i just saw this one for like $17 somewhere, a little used, but not trashed. I didn't buy it because i need it on 44.

I should have posted it to deals.
